holy smokes..... it sounds like this guy just made $700.00 for nothing. but i hope it still works out for you.

but with zero feedback. and starting out trying to sell something with such a price tag, and the price, well it just sounds far too cheap! jeez, what a bummer, and such a crappy way to start the new year.... amd having it posted all over, i dunno, sounds like a scam. and maybe someone in texas could track this dude down for you? ive bought a few items form dudes with zero feedback, and lucky for me, its always worked out.... the scariest one was my Trex 600E, the guy posted it for $1000.00, its came with 3 8S packs, TP1010C and 210 balancer, all in all at least a 2500.00 package, i sent the money via paypal, and 3, weeks later, still didnt get a tracking#, nothing, and the guy had all kinds of good feedback! after 3 weeks i was getting REAL NERVOUS. well all in all it worked out fine, the guy was just real slow to get it taken apart and packed up...... maybe thats the same scenario in your case, we can hope!

I just filed a claim via paypal but don't expect to see any of the funds back if he withdrew it already.

My woman is not happy.

What a way to start a new year.

The one good thing is that in my personal life, my girlfriend's father (her folks live in Ukrain) was diagnosed with a brain tumor and the operation was on Dec.22nd. It was successful, so we are grateful.

Plus I got into a large AP contract just after the Olympics at some of the venues and our family holiday time was awesome.

Stan and I are going to go over to his house and see what the deal is if we have the right address. We also have friends from N.Houston police they may come with us.So if this guy reads this post you better get right and send the helicopter.I hate people that rip of others...

Now the problem,Stan went to Larrys and saw John,they looked at the pic of the guy holding the helicopter..John said that's not the guy who brought it in to him to sell.This guy who is in the pic may have scamed you and it's not the real seller,we will have to check this out more.We will do everything we can to get you your helicopter.

Just let me say that the Joker looked like it had not been run or at lease very little.Stan and talk about getting it at that time the person would take 400.00. It is a very nice ship and you got a killer deal if it shows up. We will let you know what we find out.

Bud, don't let go of your hope of a refund just yet. I had a similar situation last year on another forum. It took Paypal approx 30 days to put the money back in my account. Took a while, but it was worth it. This is why you only do paypal as a gift for folks that you know and trust. Had the funds been sent as a gift, you would be up $hits creek. Keep your chin up bud, it aint over yet

All helis and planes have an expiration date stamped on them...you only find it after you crash!!

No problem...

I feel sorry for what happened. It could be me. I was about to buy that heli and after discussing it with my wife I dicided not to. You can contact the local police that covers the area where the shop is located and file a complain with them. Also you can contact the FBI and file a complain with them. Check with paypal because if that guy has a premier account is easy to get more info about him. You have his picture and that is good in the sense that he could be tracked down. I don't know how the laws from Tx are, but that crime could be Petit Larceny(a misdeaminor)
Here is a link to file a complain and learn about Internet fraud. http://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspxGood luck. I hope you recover your money or your heli.
